Good to see that this is now a goer. Those pilots with their 'taches are a hoot and are a give away to the kit's age I reckon. Ha, the presence of beer during a build - if it all gets a bit fuzzy, just close one eye for focus :-D

What I'm trying to understand is how identical twin's could so separate their careers that one became an experienced instructor and the other a newbie ? With their mother nearby dressing them neatly ...

Finally on board Simon. Great progress so far. Those mustaches must have been great for soaking up Scotch or Rum. For the long ops and such.

Press on, sir. Looking good.

Yes Brews it is, sadly it's a work day, but I've also just got back from the vets after having our poor old Mog put to sleep, so don't feel much like modelling to be quite honest........

Yeah - Guys, I doubt I'll finish this kit tonight, so I'll post completion pics in another post over the next few days probably.

Thanks Merlin, she was pretty old (20 ), and it was better she went out with some dignity at this stage. She's at peace, but we're a bit shattered here frankly........

That's very sad. Pets become such a big part of the family.

Country cats seem to live longer than their city cousins. Our old lady is batting 17 but has used up three of her nine. The last one an encounter with a brown snake.

We are sorry to see your Old Puss take her last adventure.
